Just read about it in another forum. Couldn't believe my eyes 'til
I saw it for myself:

It does have the correct Registry data, though.

Couldn't help but chuckle.

He he, thanks for bringing that up in DP. I also found this in NP, but it looks
like this has been going on for almost a month or so!

Personally, this is one error I somewhat don't mind.

My domains were handed down to me by my great-great grandfather. I don't sell them because they're family heirlooms.

The internet is no more then 17 years old. It might very well be an error :yes:

After the internet? Read the Otherland series by Tad Williams. Though I have to warn you, the 4 novels in the series are about 1,000 pages each.
